An established leader in marine structure dynamics  

 Fixed and floating offshore wind developments are complex systems subject to extreme loading from their environment. To develop robust and cost-effective structures that will stand up to environmental and geotechnical conditions and perform optimally, you must first understand how they behave under such dynamic conditions.  

 After 30 years in the offshore business, we consider ourselves experts in everything from the platform to the seabed. We understand the environment. We know how structures behave in it. And we know how best to build, fabricate and install them. We are using that expertise to bring leading-edge technology solutions to offshore renewables.  

Novel engineering to maximise efficiency and minimise cost 

What makes us different is that we are an independent innovative team of engineers from a variety of disciplines covering structural, environmental, geotechnical, subsea, materials, installation and integrity. We focus on applying advanced engineering techniques to reduce conservatism, provide accurate simulations and optimize the design, components, materials, and processes, to make them more robust, more cost-effective and perform better. 

Treat us like one of your team 

Unlike other contractors, we are not biased towards a particular concept design, equipment manufacturer, or installation contractor. We consider ourselves your specialist engineering support working collaboratively as part of your project team on your objectives. We will provide independent, unbiased, engineering solutions that are optimal for your specific project’s needs and budget.  

Tackling the greater challenges in offshore wind 

 Our expertise lies in using engineering to find new avenues for innovation. That means we’re looking at the big picture, not just today’s problems. Instead, we’re focused on making the next generation of offshore wind technology possible.  

  • Bigger wind turbines

  • Novel fixed foundation designs 

  • New mooring and anchor systems 

  • More sophisticated cable designs and configurations 

  • Smarter fabrication and installation techniques 

  • Turbine torque and dynamics

  • High thrust loads 

  • Turbine-to-turbine shielding and interaction 

  • Energy efficiency under dynamic and high floating foundation pitch and roll 

  • Cable integrity and failure rates 

  • Mooring footprint and cable routing design 

Holistic support through all phases of the wind farm lifecycle 

We have an extensive track record from early-stage feasibility studies and conceptual work through detailed design, transportation and installation engineering, 3rd party verification, integrity management, monitoring and life extension, meaning we can support clients through all project phases.  

Our experience in every aspect of the project lifecycles means that we consider the project, optimizing designs, processes and schedules to get the most value out of the investment, minimizing risk during operations and reducing the overall cost of energy.
